Schopenhauer's works introduced him into the Indian philosophy, more specifically to the upanishad and advaita vedanta's interpretation.

In his lecture "Mind and Matter", he said that "The world extended in space and time is but our representation." This is a repetition of the first words of Schopenhauer's main work. As a result of his extensive reading of Schopenhauer's works, he became deeply interested throughout his life in colour theory and philosophy. At an early age, Schrödinger was strongly influenced by Arthur Schopenhauer. In 1911, Schrödinger became an assistant to Exner. He also conducted experimental work with Karl Wilhelm Friedrich "Fritz" Kohlrausch. He received his doctorate at Vienna under Hasenöhrl. Between 19 (the year he earned his doctorate) Schrödinger studied at the University of Vienna under the physicists Franz S. He was also able to learn English outside school, as his maternal grandmother was British. He also believed his scientific work was an approach to Divinity, albeit in an intellectual sense. However, he had strong interests in Eastern religions and pantheism, and he used religious symbolism in his works. Although he was raised in a religious household as a Lutheran, he himself was an atheist. His mother was of half Austrian and half English descent his father was Catholic and his mother was Lutheran. Schrödinger was born in Erdberg, Vienna, Austria, on 12 August 1887, to Rudolf Schrödinger ( cerecloth producer, botanist ) and Georgine Emilia Brenda Schrödinger (née Bauer) (daughter of Alexander Bauer, professor of chemistry, TU Wien). He is also known for his " Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment. He also wrote on philosophy and theoretical biology. He paid great attention to the philosophical aspects of science, ancient, and oriental philosophical concepts, ethics, and religion. In his book What Is Life? Schrödinger addressed the problems of genetics, looking at the phenomenon of life from the point of view of physics. In addition, he wrote many works on various aspects of physics: statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, physics of dielectrics, colour theory, electrodynamics, general relativity, and cosmology, and he made several attempts to construct a unified field theory. Bust of Schrödinger, in the courtyard arcade of the main building, University of Vienna, AustriaĮrwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger ( UK: / ˈ ʃ r ɜː d ɪ ŋ ər/, US: / ˈ ʃ r oʊ-/ German: 12 August 1887 – 4 January 1961), sometimes written as Erwin Schrodinger or Erwin Schroedinger, was a Nobel Prize-winning Austrian-Irish physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in quantum theory: the Schrödinger equation provides a way to calculate the wave function of a system and how it changes dynamically in time.
